    INTERNET ETIQUETTE 

    (NETIQUETTE)
    Ten Rules of Netiquette
    Netiquette is a set of rules for behaving properly online. These rules should be
    followed and remembered every time by everyone who goes online.
    Rule No. 1: Remember the Human.
    You need to remember that you are talking to a real person when you are online. Ask
    yourself when sending and/or posting: Would I say this to the person’s face? If not, do
    not send it or post it or chat about it. Always ask permission before posting anything
    about someone on the Web.
    Rule No.2: Adhere to the same standards online that you follow in real life.
    You need to behave the same way online that you do in real life. You need to
    remember that you can get caught doing things you should not be doing online just
    like you can in real life. You are still talking to a real person with feelings even
    though you can’t see them.
    Rule no. 3: Know where you are in cyberspace.
    Always take a look around when you enter a new domain when surfing the web. Get a
    sense of what the discussion group is about before you join it. Be the better person. If
    someone is being rude in cyber space, do not make it worse.
    Rule no.4: Respect other people’s time and bandwidth.
    Remember people have other things to do besides you. You are not the center of their
    world. Keep your post and s to a minimum by saying what you want to say. Use the
    subject line so the recipient knows what it is about. If you want a response or action
    put it in the subject line. Double –check the list of people to whom you are forwarding
    a message to make sure no one is on it who shouldn’t be.
    Rule No. 5: Make yourself look good online.
    Remember to always check your spelling and grammar before posting. Always know
    what you are talking about and make sense saying it. Be polite and pleasant to
    everyone.
    Rule no. 6: Share expert knowledge.
    Ask questions online. Share what you know online. Post the answers to your
    questions online because someone may have the same question you do.
    Rule No.7: Help keep flame wars under control.
     “Flaming" is what people do when they express a strongly held opinion without
    holding back any emotion. Netiquette does not forbid flaming. Netiquette does,
    however, forbid people who are flaming to hurt discussion groups by putting the
    group down.
    Rule No. 8: Respect other people’s privacy.
    Do not read other people’s mail without their permission. Going through other
    people’s things could cost you your job or you could even go to jail. Not respecting
    other people’s privacy is bad Netiquette.
    Rule No.9: Don’t abuse your power.
    Do not take advantage of other people just because you have more knowledge or
    power than them. Treat others as you would want them to treat you if the roles were
    reversed.
    Rule No. 10: Be forgiving of other people’s mistakes.
    Do not point out mistakes to people online. Remember that you were once the new
    kid on the block. You still need to have good manners even though you are online and
    cannot see the person face to face.
